Blessing Okagbare won the 200m sprint today at the Commonwealth Games in Scotland to complete a sprint double.
Naijalog recalls she won the 100m race, on Monday.
Okagbare finished ahead of English duo Jodie Williams, Bianca Williams and Anyika Onuora, all British athletes who took second, third and fourth positions respectively, with a time of 22.25 seconds.
The three British sprinters achieved personal best times, however, they could not best Okagbare.
“I am happy I won,” said Okagbare. “It wasn’t favourable weather and running two rounds in one day is new for me.”
She furthered, “I wanted something faster. I didn’t get the time but I got the win and two golds. It’s amazing.”
